BeInCrypto
Gemini's stock rose after the CFTC granted the exchange a Derivatives Clearing Organization license to clear trades internally.

Summary

Gemini has secured a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license from the CFTC, allowing the exchange to handle its own trade clearing and settlement. This regulatory milestone, combined with a previously acquired Designated Contract Market (DCM) license, enables Gemini to manage the entire trade lifecycle for derivatives and prediction markets. By eliminating reliance on third-party clearinghouses, the company aims to improve margins and expand its product offerings, positioning itself to capitalize on the growing interest in event-based financial instruments and diversified revenue streams.
